Vinmarker (producentens tekst, engelsk): From 55 to 12 years old. Vejret (producentens tekst, engelsk): The 2018 vintage began with average winter temperatures, later in February/ March we saw some frost and snow waves. Spring started with a fairly mild April, rainfall was circumscribed, and in May we had substantial rainfall. After a warm and dry June, we had a drop in temperatures in mid-July with some scattered hailstorms that caused a delay in the phenological stages of the vines, and full veraison had to wait until the end of July. In the early days of September, a north wind ensured good cluster concentration and absence of serious secondary diseases, allowing the grapes to ripen well until harvest. The harvest period was characterized by good weather and mild temperatures. Høst (producentens tekst, engelsk): Early October. Vinifikation (producentens tekst, engelsk): Cold, pre-fermentation maceration for about four days, followed by fermentation in steel and natural cement tanks at controlled temperature below 26 degrees for a total of 3 weeks. Malolactic fermentation in cement. Lagring (producentens tekst, engelsk): About 30 months in Slavonian and French oak barrels of different capacities (10/15/30/50 hl). Bottling in April and May following the most favourable phases of the moon. Long aging in the bottle. TASTING NOTES BY BERNARDINO SANI, CEO AND WINEMAKER: Fresh, complex, and fruity nose with balsamic and fleshy final notes. In the mouth it is very refined and elegant, with distinctive but silky and well-blended tannins and a marked flavour that makes it very gastronomic.
